BLM AF6 or Jaustacorp?

[AtraposBLM]

Which would you rather wear? The black mage body peice, or jaustacorp?

The difference is mainly 2 int vs +enfeebling skill (useless, imo) and -3 enmity.

So far, I've picked jaustacorp, and I've been fine. What have other people found?

off topic, but there isn't any AF4, AF5 or AF6 ^^;

they're just called AF coffers


that being said, i'd go with justaucorps for normal nukes and Wizard's coat for sleeps

[AtraposBLM]

I'm aware they aren't technically quests, but they follow an order, and it's easier to refer to them as af4 (gloves), af5 (legs) af6 (body) as other sites do, than to type out their full names every time.

af1 - useless club - lv41
af2 - useless shoes - lv52
af3 - AWESOME hat - lv60
af4 - first AF coffer, awesome gloves - lv54
af5 - decent pants - lv56
af6 - bleh body peice - lv58

see? Follows an order that you can switch the peices around in and still have it work with other jobs.

I have been asking myself that same question for some time now (seeing a few BLM's not wearing the AF Coat). I am wearing the Wizard's Coat since i only had to camp the key once (about 4-5hrs) and coffer was real easy to get (or real lucky, got it in my first try and in like 10mins).

In my opinion if you are having trouble getting a group together to go hunt for the key, buy the justacourps (REAL ugly! lol), just dont go doing any BCNM60 as main sleeper^^.

Until what level do you guys think the BLM AF armor is good till? And once you reach that level, what should you replace it with?

[AtraposBLM]

lv68 - Black Cloak - +4 int (+5?) +8 elemental skill, adds "Refresh" effect.

Best body to wear while nuking for the rest of the game lol (save the new BLM AF2...but who the hell has access to that).

[Rhain]

Cool thanks! Yeah, getting those relic armors won't be a walk in a park..

[Tetsura]

what about Errant Armor? wouldnt that be a pretty good body piece? or would Demon's Cloak still be better?

Opinions?

16mp enfeeble+10 enmity-3 is way more useful than 2int I think. Being a hume lacking int (63+25) I'd take the positives on the af coat over 2int on the coups. Personal opinion really I guess =p

2int nets only 5-6 damage on vt/it mobs with fire3.

[AtraposBLM]

5-6 damage over the course of a 5 hour party, with probably like 500 total casts of various spells, doing an extra 5-6 damage each...


Small damage changes add up over time.

[nsxtasy]

Actually, they don't add up over time.

Only over the course of a single mob. So you get the extra damage of maybe a stone1 spell per mob. wee.

I'd stick w/ the AF coat til Black Cloak personally.

[AtraposBLM]

blegh. extra damage or 1/10th of an extra spell?

My main question was really whether that -3 enmity seemed to do anything at all. So far, with the -3 I have from the other 3 AF peices I'm wearing, I haven't really noticed any difference in the amount I can nuke before drawing aggro. Plus, in a good party, I never even have time to nuke enough to draw aggro, so it's basically a moot point.
